MUST WATCH: Mayweather’s Cheap Shot
For some reason, Victor Ortiz kept apologizing for a headbutt, and Mayweather struck while no one was watching. Fight over. Proof that it’s much easier to win a boxing match when the other guy has stopped boxing altogether.
When Mayweather landed the knockout punch, legendary boxing trainer and HBO color analyst, Emmanuel Stewart could only say, “Awww, no!”
Larry Merchant immediately announced, “Ortiz was apologizing, and Mayweather was punching.”
Referee Joe Cortez claims he called “time in,” but then why was he not watching the action? Cortez saw neither punch, and looked stunned upon seeing Ortiz falling to the mat.
A Canadian broadcaster reminded, “Protect yourself at all times, but the ref says ‘box’ first.” At no point during the video does Cortez turn to the fighters and tell him to “box.”
Shame is, Floyd was going to win this fight. Mayweather is the better fighter, but make no mistake about it, Floyd didn’t win it. Victor lost. The 24-year old got too amped up, and made a critical error by stopping in the middle of a fight.
However, “winning” bouts like that, Floyd, won’t make anyone forget that you keep ducking Manny Pacquiao.
Stop being a little chicken and fight Pacquaio!
